The current plan proposed for the Hingham Community Playground involves significant tree removal, thereby reducing much-needed shade. This deficiency in shade canopy will raise temperatures at the playground and increase heat and sun exposure for both children and their caregivers. 

By signing this petition, we urge the town officials and the Hingham Recreation Committee to revisit the playground plan as it pertains to the removal of the ten existing trees and the resulting lack of shade, and take timely action. We value our trees and believe in creating healthy, sustainable environments for our children. Therefore, it's essential that we speak up. Let your voices be heard and tell the Hingham Recreation Committee that we need more shade in our beloved community playground. 

Please sign this petition.
